Dark Nature
No matter how much I give I don't lose myself entirely. To give is to love but I don't want to sacrifice everything. I don't want to be used. Sometimes I feel that a situation has been taken out of my hands and so I wait because this is my fate. I can't be saved from pain. Life must be experienced from all levels, lust, sadness, instinct, dreams. I grasp at all of them but somehow catch myself before it completely seizes my core, my essence. I can't completely fall away because of my dual nature...my duplicity saves me.

A sense of self-preservation is not duplicity. Even a developed alter-ego is not duplicity. Duplicity is saying one thing and meaning another. Your piece speaks to me of self-defence and not deceit. I like the sense of self-examination here. Writing is a great means of self-therapy. R.

Yes...seems my duplicity/self-defense is a savior of sorts and how wonderful that I can express it by writing it down
